■ General
Application
– Inrush current active management by ■ All types of resistive, inductive and capacitive
power limitation loads
– Very low stand-by current
– 3.0V CMOS compatible inputs Description
– Optimized electromagnetic emissions The VN5E160S-E is a single channel high-side
– Very low electromagnetic susceptibility driver manufactured in the ST proprietary
– In compliance with the 2002/95/EC VIPower M0-5 technology and housed in the tiny
european directive SO-8 package.
■ Diagnostic functions The VN5E160S-E is designed to drive automotive
– Open Drain status output grounded loads delivering protection, diagnostics
– On-state open load detection and easy 3V and 5V CMOS-compatible interface
with any microcontroller.
– Off-state open load detection
– Output short to VCC detection The device integrates advanced protective
– Overload and short to ground (power functions such as load current limitation, inrush
limitation) indication and overload active management by power
limitation, over-temperature shut-off with auto-
– Thermal shut-down indication
restart and over-voltage active clamp.
■ Protections
A dedicated active low digital status pin is
– Undervoltage shut-down
associated with every output channel in order to
– Overvoltage clamp provide Enhanced diagnostic functions including
– Load current limitation fast detection of overload and short-circuit to
– Self limiting of fast thermal transients ground, over-temperature indication, short-circuit
– Protection against loss of ground and loss to VCC diagnosis and ON & OFF state open-load
of VCC detection.
– Over-temperature shut-down with The diagnostic feedback of the whole device can
autorestart (thermal shut-down) be disabled by pulling the STAT_DIS pin up, thus
– Reverse battery protected (a) allowing wired-ORing with other similar devices.
– Electrostatic discharge protection

2.1 Absolute maximum ratings

Stressing the device above the ratings listed in the “Absolute maximum ratings” tables may
cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the Operating sections of
this specification is not implied. Exposure to the conditions in the “Absolute maximum
ratings” tables for extended periods may affect device reliability. Refer also to the
STMicroelectronics SURE Program and others relevant quality documents.

1. To ensure long term reliability under heavy overload or short circuit conditions, protection and related
diagnostic signals must be used together with a proper software strategy. If the device is subjected to
abnormal conditions, this software must limit the duration and number of activation cycles.

3.1 GND protection network against reverse battery

3.1.1 Solution 1: resistor in the ground line (RGND only)

This solution can be used with any type of load.
The following is an indication on how to dimension the RGND resistor.
1. RGND  600mV / (IS(on)max).
2. RGND VCC) / (-IGND)
where -IGND is the DC reverse ground pin current and can be found in the absolute
maximum rating section of the device datasheet.
Power dissipation in RGND (when VCC<0: during reverse battery situations) is:
PD= (-VCC)2/RGND
This resistor can be shared amongst several different HSDs. Please note that the value of
this resistor should be calculated with formula (1) where IS(on)max becomes the sum of the
maximum on-state currents of the different devices.
Please note that if the microprocessor ground is not shared by the device ground then the
RGND will produce a shift (IS(on)max * RGND) in the input thresholds and the status output
values. This shift will vary depending on how many devices are ON in the case of several
high side drivers sharing the same RGND.

22/34
VN5E160S-E Application information

If the calculated power dissipation leads to a large resistor or several devices have to share
the same resistor then ST suggests Solution 2 is used (see below).

3.1.2 Solution 2: diode (DGND) in the ground line

A resistor (RGND=1kshould be inserted in parallel to DGND if the device drives an
inductive load.
This small signal diode can be safely shared amongst several different HSDs. Also in this
case, the presence of the ground network will produce a shift (~600mV) in the input
threshold and in the status output values, if the microprocessor ground is not common to the
device ground. This shift will not vary if more than one HSD shares the same diode/resistor
network.

3.2 Load dump protection

Dld is necessary (Voltage Transient Suppressor) if the load dump peak voltage exceeds to
VCC max DC rating. The same applies if the device is subject to transients on the VCC line
that are greater than the ones shown in the ISO T/R 7637/2 table.

3.3 MCUI/Os protection

If a ground protection network is used and negative transient are present on the VCC line,
the control pins will be pulled negative. ST suggests that a resistor (Rprot) be inserted in line
to prevent the µC I/Os pins to latch-up.
The value of these resistors is a compromise between the leakage current of µC and the
current required by the HSD I/Os (Input levels compatibility) with the latch-up limit of µC
I/Os.
-VCCpeak/Ilatchup  Rprot  (VOHC-VIH-VGND) / IIHmax
Calculation example:
For VCCpeak= - 100V and Ilatchup  20mA; VOHC  4.5V
5k  Rprot  180k.
Recommended Rprot value is 10k

Application information VN5E160S-E

3.4 Open load detection in Off state

Off-state open-load detection requires an external pull-up resistor (RPU) connected between
the OUTPUT pin and a positive supply voltage (VPU) like the +5V line used to supply the
microprocessor.
The external resistor has to be selected according to the following requirements:
1. No false open load indication when load is connected: in this case we have to avoid
VOUT to be higher than VOlmin; this results in the following condition
VOUT= (VPU/(RL+RPU))RL<VOlmin.
2. No misdetection when load is disconnected: in this case the VOUT has to be higher than
VOLmax; this results in the following condition RPU<(VPU–VOLmax)/IL(off2).
Because Is(OFF) may significantly increase if Vout is pulled high (up to several mA), the pull-
up resistor RPU should be connected to a supply that is switched OFF when the module is in
standby.
The values of VOLmin, VOLmax and IL(off2) are available in the Electrical characteristics
section.
